Piggyback, yes alters the A/F through a MAFterburner type of device, they sold them with their intake in both non-tunable preset and tunable types. There are proven dyno results of it working, but as mention many times before, the factory AF ratio is pretty screwed anyway.




I bought a 75mm Pro-M MAF and bought the Mafterburner type device that would allow you to lean it out or richen it up. Basically a hack way of tuning, which I was willing to try since at the time, there wasn't a whole lot to choose from as far as custom burned chips or Xcal2's. Put the car on the dyno to find out that the Mafterburner was adjusting the A/F backwards, so it'd go rich when I leaned it out and vise versa. For the money that you're spending, you might as well do your basic intake, and get an Xcal2 tune where you can make small adjustments.
